Truth. (I live for the 'aha' moment.)

[The Learning Logbook @Tharuns_Journal]

I would rather be unpopular and disliked and be a loser in life and know what's real and what's true and speak the truth, as opposed to the other way around.

[The Learning Logbook @Tharuns_Journal]

I don’t want to be rich.

I just want enough money to not worry anymore.

[The Learning Logbook @Tharuns_Journal]

Never say, 'You can't do it.'

Say, 'I haven't done it yet.'

We don't know if you can do it or not until you really practice

and then you find out if you can do it or not, or how well you can do it.

My suggestion is not to stress about putting money aside for retirement over the next decade or two.

It simply won’t be relevant.

If our predictions come true, then saving for retirement will lose its importance.

Imagine reducing centuries of economic thought to two cartoons and thinking you've solved it.

Peak internet confidence.

Who produced the extra food? Who paid for it? Why did production increase?

Funny how the meme answers none of the questions that actually matter.

The pain of being different is temporary.

The regret of never being yourself can last a lifetime.

Life rewards movement far more than rumination.

Real happiness is unconditional.

The moment you have a condition, then you're basically saying, 'I'm not going to be happy until that condition is met.'

One thing that's important in entrepreneurship is you just have to be right once.

You get many many shots on goal. ... But you really only have to be right once.

- @naval

[The Learning Logbook @Tharuns_Journal]

If all you do is wait for the “perfect” shot you’ll die with the ball in your hands.

[The Learning Logbook @Tharuns_Journal]

Whether something is possible or impossible is not your business.

Success and failure are ideas that will only serve as a burden to your quest.

Just Try.

[The Learning Logbook @Tharuns_Journal]

The number of failures doesn't matter.

[The Learning Logbook @Tharuns_Journal]

The smarter you get, the slower you read.

The slower I read, the calmer my nervous system becomes.

[The Learning Logbook @Tharuns_Journal]

Your nervous system is not interested in truth.

It is interested in survival and continuity.

It takes raw sensations

a tightening in the chest, a quickening of breath, a shift in chemistry

and it asks, “What does this mean?”

[The Learning Logbook @Tharuns_Journal]

Every time I hear people talk about @elonmusk becoming a trillionaire, I can’t help but laugh a little.

You don’t risk everything, work impossible hours, and survive years of near bankruptcy for money.

He wanted the product to exist.

The billions were just the receipt.

[The Learning Logbook @Tharuns_Journal]

Failure is an event, never a person.

[The Learning Logbook @Tharuns_Journal]

Modern society is far more forgiving of failure. You just have to neocortically realize and override that hardwired pessimism. You have to realize that you're much more running a search function, to find the thing that will work. - @naval

[The Learning Logbook @Tharuns_Journal]

Happiness is just basically being okay with where you are.

Not wanting things to be different than the way they are, not having the sense that anything is missing in this moment.

The mind is a magnificent film studio.

But you do not have to live inside its productions.

You can let it create, and remain free.

Not by force, but by no longer being fascinated.
